Formed in 1959, Somerset Football Club, originated from ex-pupils of Chase Boys School, in Enfield. They joined the Edmonton Youth Saturday League and for the first two seasons propped up the league unable to win a single fixture. In 1961 the club applied for and was accepted into the reputed Enfield Alliance Football League. Somerset’s dismal lack of success continued and again they waved to the rest of the clubs from the bottom of the division. There was a marginal improvement in the next season when they progressed to fourth from bottom. Some would say that was the equivalent of winning the league. Indeed the club didn’t come away empty handed that year as they won the prestigious award of ‘Sportsman Trophy’ given to the most sporting team in the Alliance League. Somehow being chosen from a league of over sixty sides seemed at last to inspire the players, and did mark a turning point in the clubs success, when the following year they won promotion to division three. The club in successive seasons progressed to the premier league winning many cup competitions although never winning the premiership title. In 1975 Somersett were invited to join the V & E Youth Club Centre at their present site in Goffs Lane, Cheshunt. An ambitious youth policy was quickly established which was later enhanced in 1982 when Cheshunt Rangers FC merged with the club to form, what is now the back-bone of the current side although there was one further major change to come.
